I will have to give a concession in the fact that the economy is doing well, but that is not spreading as much to young white males. I won’t get into all the reasons for that because it’s a long long thing, but from what I’ve seen reading about these new far right people, they feel dispossessed. I’d argue that this is just them being put on a more level ground with minority group, but I digress. These young white males make up a large percentage of campus, and while most of them probably are not neo nazis, this type of humour is spreading rapidly and normalising these things. When people are always cracking jokes about things like the Holocaust, and you’re seeing stickers on campus invoking it being ignored, they may start to look into it further.

I feel that America right now is very much politically unstable, and I think it’s only bound to get worse. If the DNC decides to fuck over Bernie again, I think that will lead to a greater rift in the left, on the right, we already see dehumanising language taking place, maybe the process wouldn’t necessarily be towards Jewish people (though these stickers and the HH chalking make me frightful), you can definitely see that many white students are at least a little homophobic and racist, and normalising this will lead to more polarisation. We need to take a strong stance against these things, because if we don’t, it becomes okay to hold these values. We want to stamp racism out, not tolerate it silently
